Zoe Chun conducts research and curates projects that adopt a multidisciplinary and integrative approach to artistic creation. Her work fosters the autonomous development of interdisciplinary art research through diverse activities, including independent exhibition curation, critical writing, community engagement, and academic research. Her artistic practice primarily investigates the philosophical dimensions of time, space, and the environment, focusing on historical contexts, anonymous figures, and the liminal spaces between them. She explores narrative structures that transcend conventional temporal and spatial constraints by reconstructing abstract and conceptual forms, often integrating exhibition and performance art.
In addition to her independent practice, Chun founded The Great Commission, a project-based artistic collective that facilitates collaboration among creators from diverse disciplines. Through this collective, she has curated and produced exhibitions and performances that merge visual art, literature, music, dance, film, design, and architecture into cohesive narrative structures, generating new aesthetic and conceptual frameworks.
Chun holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Korea National University of Arts and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Directing from the same institution’s School of Drama. Her research examines site-specificity, regional histories, and the plasticity of time through interdisciplinary inquiry, workshops, and community-driven initiatives. By moving beyond the conventional constraints of the white cube and black box, she seeks to preserve the distinct languages of individual disciplines while articulating the hybridity and abstraction inherent in interdisciplinary art, engaging a broad and diverse audience.
